Reaching out for help takes courage, and I am truly honored to be part of your journey. If you're feeling ready to explore a path toward healing and self-discovery, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Your story is important, and together, we can shape its next its next chapter.

Background

I specialize in healing relational and trauma wounds via psychoanalytic and somatic therapy—especially for individuals and couples in communities such as immigrants, professionals, LGBTQ+, ADHDers, CPTSD or sexual abuse survivors, adoption parents, and medical helpers. My life experiences have deepened my compassion, so I can hold a safe and personalized space for my clients from diverse backgrounds.

Your therapeutic experience with me

Many clients come feeling like they or their relationships “should be fine”, but deep down they feel confused, disconnected, overwhelmed, or burdened, just not knowing why. Unprocessed past experiences can be stored in our body, causing anxiety, depression, numbness, self esteem issues, tougher life transitions, or disturbed relationships. In our sessions, we'll gently reconnect the parts that have been shut down by stress, anger, fear, shame, or grief, make sense of everything that's important to you, help you to express yourself freely, and rediscover your authentic self.
